The TM.30 ( Notification from House-Master, Owner or the Possessor of the Residence where alien has stayed ) and its underlying laws are about the obligation of a landlord (or house master, possessor, manager) to report the stay of a foreigner (non-Thai national) in his/her property. All foreigners staying in Thailand and their hosts should be very well aware of this. The laws with regard to the TM.30 and the obligation to report a foreigner's stay have been in place for some time (since 1979), but the government has started to enforce it more strictly lately, and changed some of the procedures with regards to your 90-days reporting and extension of visa |
Basically, with the TM030 form, the government aims to know exactly where each foreigner is staying all the time. Every host, no matter Thai or foreigner, has the obligation to report the stay of a foreigner within 24 hours. This may seem a scary idea to those appreciating their privacy, cumbersome to those providing accommodation, and perhaps even crazy in the eyes of frequent travelers, but we've got to live with it because the law is in place and Immigration is enforcing it more and more. The TM30 measures are one of many of the current government that are all aimed at better monitoring and controlling what happens in this country. The government wants to make it difficult for foreigners to stay under the radar especially who Immigration sees as ‘bad guys’, foreigners who overstay and terrorists. |
Officially and practically, the responsibility to report the stay of a foreigner rests with the host: the landlord of a property, the hotel or the service apartment. Untimely reporting of a foreigner can be penalized with THB 1,600 per person (normally the penalty does not exceed that amount, even if your landlord reports months too late). However, if you are the guest or tenant, you can’t ignore TM30 either: many foreigners report that they need it when going to the Immigration office for a service, such as the 90-day reporting and sometimes even for visa extensions. It still depends on the officer in charge that you're facing, but at such moment that you may find out that your landlord did not report your stay and you will have to explain where you stayed all that time. There is also a risk that you as a tenant (or guest) may be fined instead of the landlord. In some cases, Immigration enforces strictly and demands the return slip of the TM.30 form, in other cases they allow foreigners just to tell them their address and when it's in the system it's okay. |
As a foreigner staying in Thailand, you should prepare: (a) a copy of your passport (photo page) The landlord should prepare: (a) a copy of the title deed of the property In case the landlord has outsources this matter to a property manager, a letter is needed giving authority to this property manager to report TM30 on behalf of landlord with stamps from the tax office on this letter. Then, your landlord or property manager should report in either of these ways:
|
He/She (The owner of the residence) must notify (by the Form TM.30) to the competent official of the Immigration Office located in the same area of that house/residence within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the alien. |
In case of the house/residence located in the area of Bangkok, it must be notified at the Immigration Division 1, Government Complex, Chaengwattana Road Bangkok. For other provinces, it must be notified at Provincial Immigration Office located in that area or the local police station if there is no Immigration Office. |
That is because your passport’s validity is less than 5 years. Your elite visa’s validity will be the same period as the remaining of your passport’s validity. For example, If your passport remains only 2 years 3 months until its expiry date, your new elite visa will not be for 5 years but it will be 2 years 3 months as same as your passport’s. |
